Accelerator for Clinical Transformation, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA. (S.H., A.J.B., D.Z., S.K., K.W., D.G., C.P.C., B.M.S.).
Background: Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor, yet traditional care often results in suboptimal blood pressure (BP) control at the population level. We implemented a remote hypertension management program that monitored home BP and titrated medications per algorithm. This study assessed the program's long-term effects by examining participants' office BP up to 42 months post-enrollment.

Background: Elevated blood pressure (BP) prompts immediate emergency department (ED) visits instead of outpatient care, thus constituting a high-weight concern for the ED. This study investigated the short- and long-term outcomes of high BP patients in the ED.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), reviewing ED visits from January to December 2022.

Background: Intravascular imaging (IVI) complements coronary angiography and may help prevent coronary artery perforation (CAP) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Objectives: The authors evaluated whether IVI-guided PCI is associated with a lower risk of PCI-related CAP in a real-world cohort.
Methods: This observational study analyzed consecutive PCI procedures from January 2006 to October 2023.

Objectives: This analysis quantifies the potential long-term clinical and cost benefits of early and intensive metabolic control (EIMC) versus conventional management in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Italy.
Methods: The PRIME T2D Model was used to project clinical and cost outcomes over long-term time horizons for a newly diagnosed cohort of patients receiving EIMC or conventional management. EIMC was associated with a mean glycated hemoglobin reduction of 0.
